Lack of acceleration

I think I saw this topic somewhere around here, but can't seem to find it again. If you know where it is could you please just link me to it.

 

Theres a bunch of topics of clunky shifting, I have that too, and deceleration issues, yep, got that too but this is different.

 

This has happened twice to me now where I'll hit the gas about 75% of the way and nothing happens. I'll push it to 100% and still nothing and have to wait for about 3 seconds (which feels like an eternity) and then it will downshift and just break the tires loose. 

 

This happened twice, both in situations that could have turned bad. First I was in traffic about 35mph and had to move over which required sneaking between some traffic (safely of course) and got on the gas, put on my blinker and it just sat there, after a bit it just broke my tires loose and applied every ounce of power. 

 

Happened again today, this time came to a yield to cross a highway county road with 60mph traffic and had plenty of room, got on the gas and same thing, nothing. by now the cars are barreling down on me and the truck is sitting in the middle of the road, floored it and nothing then FINALLY when I'm about freaking out, it does a nice burn out and hauls across the rest of the road. 

 

have 62,000 miles on it, no tune but this has me wondering what I can do.

If I quickly floor the gas pedal and release it, there will be no or little  response.  If I press on the gas at progressive and steady rate, the truck responds accordingly.  Undoubtedly you have driven other automatics and know if your truck is not performing in a predictable manner.  I would go talk with a service adviser at a local transmission repair facility.  Getting it fixed professionally may cost but will be cheaper than an accident and less embarrassing than soiled pants.

May I ask what your deceleration issue is?  Is it the firm bump downshifts like I have on my 2016 or something unrelated?
